Sam was so excited to attend the ribbon cutting ceremony today at Ninja Park in Albuquerque.
Josh Kronberg and Garrett Takach built the obstacles themselves. Josh is a 4 time America Ninja Warrior contestant, and tester for the Ninja Warrior Show final competition course. Ninja Park has something for everyone of all ages. Check them out at: https://www.facebook.com/ninjaparkabq. Josh, Garrett, and Jessica are marvelous athletes!!

Josh and Garret cut the ribbon.

Here are some links to Josh's American Ninja Warrior experience:

What has impressed Bob and me the most, is that each time Josh has been on the show and not made it to #1, he's been inspired to learn from his experience. His determination and resilience give us the courage to try again in our own lives.

When we left today, the kids ages 5-8 were participating in an obstacle course designed for their age. All through the day today there are different age categories competing, and this evening the adults have their hard core competition. We couldn't stay all day, but wanted to. And for families who have kids, this is a family venue. Josh's wife, kids, and family as well as Garrett's family were all there helping out. It took a lot of heart and hard work to bring this vision to completion. We were thrilled to be there and see it all, and see the excitement of the participants.

Their address is 2420 Comanche. Just off I25. 505-883-9203.

Best to all of you at Ninja Park. Thanks for having Sam! She wants to come back and try some of the other obstacles.

Each day is a gift-open now!
xo, Suz....and Sam
